Temwa Chawinga Nears Record-Breaking Season

Chawinga continues her prolific season, leading the Golden Boot race with 16 goals. She’s now only two goals shy of matching Sam Kerr's 2019 single-season record of 18 goals.

Vlatko Andonovski's Playoff Legacy

Kansas City head coach Vlatko Andonovski guided his team to the playoffs for the sixth time in his NWSL career. Only Mark Parsons, with seven playoff appearances between Washington and Portland, has achieved more.

Orlando Pride's Historic Season Continues

The Orlando Pride extended their unbeaten streak to 22 games, earning a top-four playoff seed and securing their first-ever home playoff match. The team also tied the NWSL record for road wins in a season. Barbra Banda’s game-winner against Bay FC, her 13th goal of the season, tied Orlando’s single-season record set by Marta in 2017.

Anna Moorhouse Shines in Goal

Orlando goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse registered her 12th shutout of the season, setting a new league record. She has now kept Orlando's goal safe for 501 consecutive minutes without conceding, marking the fourth-longest streak in league history.
